We were mind blown when we arrived to the fancy suite Paulwas staying! It was so beautiful and clean! This was my firsttime being in a suite, and I have to say, my expectations werebeyond exceeded. Paul was very kind to set up us up with the bigbedrooms; he even requested if our rooms could be right next tothe boys. He respected the fact that we always like to be together.

“How do we use this thing?” asked Amy who was studyingthe key card for our room.

“I think you have to slide it through the slot there,” I replied,not really having a clue myself.

“Like this?” she said, swiping it through the slot, whichblinked a red light. “It’s not opening. Did I do something wrong?”

“Seriously, Amy?” commented Seth who was getting a kickoff our struggle. “First of all, you’re sliding it wrong. Secondly, youhave to do it fast so the green light shows, like this.”

On his first try, he unlocked the door and gave a dirty smirkat Amy as he walked in his room.

“Well how was I supposed to know? I’ve never been in asuite before!”

“It’s common sense.”

“Well forgive me, Mr. know-it-all!”

“Boy am I glad you two are going to be in separate roomstonight,” joked L as Michael chuckled.

We were amazed by the sight of how large our rooms were!Everything looked so neat and expensive! My expectations weretotally blown away!

“Holy crap, a bed! How long has it been?” cried Amy as sheraced to the back of the room where the beds were. “Oh my gosh,it’s the most comfortable thing I ever laid my back on!”

“Look at these cool spiral lamps!” I shouted to her from thefront of the room. “Cool! They turn on just by touching them!That’s awesome!”

“Rebecca, you have to feel these beds! I can’t get myselfoff them!”

“Ladies? How is everything?” asked Paul who gave twoknocks on our wide opened door.

“Everything’s amazing! We love it! Thank you so much!” Ireplied gratefully as Paul lit a smile from our contagious joy.

“Sleep well tonight, ladies. Oh, and don’t forget, the freebreakfast starts at eight. I’ll see you then.”

“Free breakfast?” shouted Amy from the back of the room asshe raced toward us.

“Yes! The suite includes a large free breakfast buffetevery morning!”

“Buffet?” Amy and I shouted at the same time, looking ateach other overjoyed.

“Your ration days are over, ladies. Eat as much as youlike! Have a good night now!” He walked away pleased withour overexcitement.

As Paul walked away, we continued jumping for joy abouteverything in the room. There was just so much to be excitedabout, the large HD TV, the amazing touch lamps, the largebeds, even a mini fridge, and a microwave, but best of all, therewere showers! I can’t remember the last time I took a legitimateshower! We always had to make do with sponge baths, but nowfinally, I can enjoy the pleasure of real bathing again!

Amy was kind enough to let me go first. I warned her I wasgoing to take my time, but she didn’t mind because she just lovedthose beds!

After stripping down my clothes and letting the water runfor a bit, I stepped in to feel the amazing warmth of the water.The feeling was so incredible. I haven’t felt this much sensationsince I lived with my foster parents, but their showers werenothing compared to this. Goose bumps rose all over my skin asthe steaming water warmed my freezing flesh. I couldn’t help butstand still in the shower just to feel the boiling water run downmy skin; I honestly felt like I could stand here all night.

Scrubbing my body with soap was an astonishing sensationall over again! I watched as all the dirt left my body, pouringdown the drain, leaving my skin spotless and smooth. I couldn’thelp but run my hands through the new me, the new squeakyclean Rebecca!

Finally, after much delay, I arrived to the most anticipatedmoment, cleansing my ghastly mop excuse for hair! At last myrevolting, thick, messy, tangled and horrifyingly disgusting haircan finally become silky, smooth, and soft again. It’s been so longI’ve almost completely forgotten the feeling! Oh my gosh, it feelsso good! I must be in heaven! Clean hair at last!

Amy and I almost spent hours showering, but it was totallyworth it! As we changed clothes, we decided to sleep in ourundergarments because it was finally warm enough to do so!

“Ahh,” I exhaled once I laid my body down on this unbelievablycomfortable bed.

“Told you these beds are awesome!” she said, snatching herpillows to cuddle with. “And I freaking love these pillows! Theyare so epic!”

“And so warm…” I added, closing my eyes.

“I can definitely get use to this.”

“Me too.”

“I wonder how the boys are enjoying this?”

Thump!

There was a loud bang on our walls suddenly that greatlystartled us.

“Whoa! Did you hear that?” she said, sitting up from her bed,looking at me.

“Yeah.”

“What was that?”

“I don’t know.”

Thump! Thump!

This time, it happened twice at one time, making our heartsrace fast.

“The frick?”

“I think it’s coming from next door.”

“You mean the boys are making this racket?”

Thump, thump, thump!

Three consistent wall smashes occurred this time, forcing usto rise from our beds.

“Not by myself of course! I need you to back me up!” shedemanded, snatching my wrist and yanking me out the doorwith her.

Before I had time to react, she was already banging on theirdoor. I blushed with embarrassment. For the first time, he’s goingto see me…dressed like this!

“Hurry up and open this door!” she shouted, banging louder.

“Sshhh!” Seth whispered when he finally opened the doorfor us. “Quit making so much noise! There are people next doortrying to sleep!”

“Really now? Well it’s funny you should mention that!” sheretorted, sneaking her head around him inside the room. “Whatare you guys doing in there?” she asked, shoving him aside as wemoved into the room.

Amy and I widened our eyes with the sight of Michael andL violently assaulting each other with their pillows. Michael waspegging his pillows as hard as he could at L who was successfullydodging them. That clearly explains the thump noises.

“The frick is going on?” she demanded to know.

“We’re having a domination war. Winners get the beds,”Seth elaborated almost a little too calmly like it was a simplecivilized manner.

“Well, why are you standing on the sidelines like a wimp?Get in there and be a man!” she shouted, pushing him into thebattle scene.

“Don’t encourage them!” I warned.

“I’m not! I’m going to teach them a lesson! I’ll show those sissyguitar players how much energy a drummer has!” she announcedas she picked up a nearby pillow and charged in.

“But, Amy, wait…”

Ah whatever. You know what? Screw it! I’m done rationalizing.Without second thought, I charged in with a pillow andtackled the first person I saw on the bed and attacked them untilthey struck back.

We fought honorably as all the men inconsiderably slammedtheir weapons on me with complete unrestricted force, launchingme flying onto the bed helpless, only to receive another unmercifulpillow slam. I am definitely never doing this again.

Amy on the other hand was dominating this thing as sheattacked viciously with the look of a psycho! She was taking thisway too seriously, and for some reason, Seth in particular seemedto be her most passionate target. He just couldn’t escape herinsane wrath!

This maddening war continued a long time before theneighbors finally slammed on our door telling us to shut up. Atthat point, it was finally time to call it a truce. Exhausted, I laid onthe nearest bed, closing my eyes with the amazing realization thatI could finally relax peacefully without worrying about gettingslammed with another pillow…oh Lord, thank God that’s over.

It was almost 4:30 AM by the time we made it back to ourrooms, and for some very strange reason, we were still not tired!

“I don’t think sleep is going to happen for us tonight, Rebecca.”

“I don’t think so either.”

“So let’s talk about something!”

“Sounds good!”

“Did you have a chance to check out their amazing bodies?Did you see those abs? Mmmm, they looked so yummy.”

“Ha ha, oh yeah, for sure.”

“We’re not so bad looking ourselves though. I know Seththought so. Oh Seth, you should have seen him! The creeper keptchecking me out! He wouldn’t get his eyes off of me! That’s okaythough because every time his eyes went down, I decked himhard in the face with my pillow! Ha, but he probably enjoyed itknowing that weirdo.”

“I bet he did.”

“Ha ha, so which one did you think was the cutest? Be honest!It’s cool. We’re all friends here!”

I blushed when she asked that.

“Oh well…I don’t know…they’re all pretty cute.”

“Oh come on! I know you have a favorite. I can tell by yourred face.”

“What?” I shouted, suddenly feeling self-conscious.

“Oh, wait!” she gasped, staring at me wide-eyed as if studyingmy face for a moment. I buried my face under the covers, dyingof embarrassment.
